The below method is the way I send variables to the movieBuilder.php
file [located in the 'src' attribute] with GET Variables
It does work :)
How would I use CURL to POST the same variables to the movieBuilder.php
file WITHIN the 'src' attribute ?
FYI, I am able to POST to the movieBuilder.php file as the POSTed
variables are properly echo'd when I look at the buffer
I would assume it would not be much different than Posting variables to
a GD script to create a dynamic image

echo $xml;
Function curlme(){
$ch = curl_init ("path2myScript/movieBuilder.php");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"mask=mask.gif&drag=drag.gif&movie=fonovisa.mov");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$buffer = curl_exec($ch); // execute the post
//echo $buffer;
curl_close ($ch);
}
anyone know how to do this ?
Is it too complicated to be worth it ?
I just want to avoid GET when possible
many thanks

I'd use this. It's simple and doesn't involve CURL. Here is a brief

$file_str= base64encode(serialize($_GET)); //$_GET can be any array
Any reason why you base64_encode here? fwrite is binary-safe so base64
encoding your data is slow and a waste of space.
Create a temporary file and write your string
fwrite($temp, $file_str);
fetch your data with
$saved_get= unserialize(base64decode(file_get_contents(filename));
Unlink your file when done with it.
Rather than resort to the slow process of creating, writing, reading
and deleting a file for every request (not to mention generating a
unique ID to prevent collisions with simultaneous requests), I'd be
more tempted to find out exactly why the OP couldn't get it working
with GET variables.
Perhaps he could post some more code, as I regularly pass GET
variables to PHP scripts through <img> tags and the like with no
problems whatsoever.
